Welcome Bonus and Promotions
First-time depositors at Zarbet pick up Get up to R3,750 + 25FS. The qualifying threshold is R20. We've seen the rollover requirement listed on the Zarbet website and it's in line with what most SA bookmakers ask. Enter any required promo code at registration. The catch: niche markets often don't count toward the wagering requirement. 18+ T&Cs apply.
Sports Markets and Betting Options
Zarbet has 28 sports available. The list includes Football, Tennis, Basketball, Rugby, American Football, Handball, Volleyball, Ice Hockey, and more. We've found the strongest coverage on football and rugby, both with deep pre-match and live betting markets. Cricket and tennis handle international fixtures. Market depth thins out on the less popular sports. Live betting is active on the major sports. Cash-out is available on qualifying bets. Niche sports have fewer markets and shorter pre-event availability.
Deposits and Withdrawals
We rate Zarbet's deposit speed as competitive. 1 Voucher clears instantly per the operator's published SLA. Withdrawal via Bank Transfer typically arrives within 1 to 3 business days. Keep in mind that voucher deposits don't have a withdrawal equivalent, so plan your cashier options accordingly. FICA verification kicks in at account registration. The minimum deposit is R20. Other methods on the Zarbet cashier include Bank Transfer, OTT voucher, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay. Keep in mind that voucher deposits generally can't be withdrawn through the same channel.
Mobile Experience
Zarbet has dedicated apps for both Android and iOS. The Android version is available as an APK from the website or through the Play Store, and the iOS app is on the App Store. Deposits, bets, and account management all work on mobile. The honest note: the app runs well on mid-range handsets but can lag on older budget Android devices.
Customer Support
Support at Zarbet runs through - Live-chat: Yes\n- Phone: 0860927238\n- Email: [email protected]. Live chat responses come back within minutes during business hours and slower off-peak. We rate live chat as the fastest channel for quick account queries. Email is there for anything more detailed and typically turns around within a business day.
